Unfortunately, this appears to have inherited the usability issues from
nx-firewall:
https://invent.kde.org/network/plasma-firewall/-/issues/14
https://invent.kde.org/network/plasma-firewall/-/issues/15
and a new one comes up with the added support for firewalld:
https://invent.kde.org/network/plasma-firewall/-/issues/16
IMHO, support for application profiles (#14) is essential for a usable
firewall UI. (IMHO, it is the absolute minimum. For firewalld, you also need
to handle the concept of zones sooner or later, see #16.)
A simpler way to create simple rules (only setting the incoming port,
without needing the advanced settings) (#15) would also be helpful, though
you may be able to get away without it if you address #14.
